It was the spacex that landed vertically on a floating pontoon at sea within this last year. That was amazing

Although it's so unbelievable that I keep thinking that it's run backwards and is actually taking off!

They're doing good. For anything to happen like this it needs serious government backing, or to be ran like a business. And now we're mostly cutting back on space budgets and things, it's nice to see general firms making it happen.

They've bust a few rockets I wouldn't worry about it. I read somewhere they plan for one a month to be lost.

I think the blue origin one is a much larger one and has gone into actual orbit.

If you're to get in any, that's the one to get it.

Oh no I got them the wrong way around. Falcon 9 of spacex is the one that's gone into actual orbit.
